Ascendra operates in the insurance MLM niche.

Finding out who runs Ascendra on its website requires a visit to the FAQ section;

Who is the founder of Ascendra?

Ascendra was founded by CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Jurgen Gonzales, CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) Joseph Lim, COO (Chief Operating Officer) Miko Imson, CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Francesca Fugen and our BXPDO (Brand Experience And Product Development Officer) Kristine Olatic.

This information could definitely be better presented.

Both Ascendra CEO Jurgen Gonzales and CSO Joseph Lim are tied to the AIM Global pyramid scheme.

Jurgen was AIM Global’s VP for Business Development. Lim was an AIM Global “Hall of Fame” promoter.

Jurgen announced his AIM Global departure on May 28th, 2025:

Joseph Lim announced his departure a day later on May 29th:

AIM Global, aka Alliance in Motion Global, is a Philippines pyramid scheme run by Eduardo Cabantog (right).

Regulatory enforcement actions have been taken against AIM Global in Vanuatu, Pakistan and Uganda.

Despite being around since 2009, Philippine authorities have so far failed to take action.

Ascendra’s website domain (“ascendrabusiness.com”), was privately registered on June 26th, 2025.

Note at time of publication there appears to be something wrong with Ascendra’s website homepage. It currently redirects to “take.app”, which appears to be a service provider.

Both Ascendra and its executives are based out of the Philippines.

This suggests whoever is running Egrya has ties to China.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]

BehindMLM reviewed Nvisionu back in August 2022. Decent retail focus, overpriced e-learning courses, white labeled supplements of unknown origin – Nvisionu was a bit of a mixed bag.

YoToo fails to provide verfiable ownership or executive information on its website.

YoToo’s website domain (“yotooz.com”), was first registered in 2020. The private registration was last updated on August 27th, 2025.

While YoToo does provide a list of executive on its website, none of them appear to actually exist. Furthermore YoToo’s executives appear to be represented by AI-generated avatars:

In its website footer YoToo claims it was “founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Colorado, USA.” No supporting evidence is provided.

In the same website footer we also find Chinese:

This suggests, as opposed to the US, whoever is running YoToo has ties to China.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money. [Continue reading…]
